Purpose

The focus of the DEI Council Education Workgroup is educating and empowering Wake Tech's campus community by establishing action-oriented learning opportunities to build awareness, knowledge and strategies that foster a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion.

  • Evaluate, revise and supplement DEI-related professional development at Wake Tech
  • Revise the course TALA 105: Equity and the Classroom

Initiatives
